Yea, Deadmau5 just sounds boring to me. I've never been a huge house or trance fan so maybe I'm just missing something when it comes to how "great" him and Tiesto are, but I just don't get anything out of the music. Cool lights aren't enough to carry a show for me.

I guess I just like trance. I could see their shows with less lights and still be happy. To me, it's just fun music. The lights and such just add. To each, his own, I guess.

And branding himself with that head was a pretty damn good idea.

I agreed to say he shouldn't return but not boring. His style of music is very club-driven house. His beats are very layered and while they are long on his albums, he often remixes or mash them up live. Soma on record long, but live its shorter and he puts a lil somethin in it. I often thinks he gets a bad rep for his major success and that his music is similar to the Bennasi and the Acostas of the world. While that music is legitimate club party music. It often gets hated on because its popular. But c'est la vie.

I agree, the lights and the cube are just an add. You obviously must like the music first because most of the time, youll be too far out to notice. And yes self branding is key to music business and the mouse head was a great idea. Especially how he incorporated images on the head to match with the Cube.

How the hell can so many people not want Deadmau5's new stage setup on the farm? If you say you want Daft Punk, but not Deadmau5 you are on crack. Especially after watching the the two videos below from Lollapalooza!

If you've watched these two videos, are a fan of EDM, and still dont want this on the farm I dont know what to tell you.

fuck I wish I had seen this thing when it was actually working (for most of the set it wasn't)I left foo fighters to see it in action. I stuck around for about 15 minutes and pretty much nothing was happening so I hauled ass back to foo fighters

Deadmau5 and Foo Fighters, wow what a shitty conflict laggy.

That new stage set up destroys his Roo '10 performance. God, I can't wait to check this out at Virgin Mobile Freefest.

Dude, when you look at today's house electronic. You can't fuck with Deadmau5. He's at the pinnacle. His beats are layered with electro synth, bass driven house, and trance. Sofi Needs a Ladder is a great party track.

Daft Punk is to European clubs as Deadmau5 is to American clubs. This is todays digital music and while I love Daft Punk they haven't made an album since '05. And Tron's soundtrack is simply not as good as Deadmau5. I don't wanna make this Daft Punk vs. Deadmau5 because i think both are awesome. But i refute the claim he is a talentless hack.
